If you format a drive and replace the OS your drivers have to be updated as well.
don't rely on windows to put a generic drive on there.
It will... but it won't be a drive that is more than likely, propriatary. If your MB has on board sound then Foxconn should have provided drivers on a CD with the MB when you bought it.
If not go to their website and check for software driver downloads.
If this does not work purchase an external soundcard and install it That too will have drivers provided.
goodluck

Hi noel06, I have read all your post. In order for you to install your chipset drivers use your CD to first uninstall the the drivers. If you do not your system will crash & burn.
(You were lucky on your first try).

(DO NOT RESTART YOUR PC AFTER UNINSTALLING).

When the CD finishes uninstalling you can than re-install the chipset drivers. Go to Foxconn and download your chipset drivers.http://www.foxconnchannel.com/EN-US/support/downloads.aspx
Fill in the three windows as:
Motherboard
Socket 462 A
K7S741MG-6L
Click the Search button.
As you will see many Foxconn boards use the same drivers.
As long as your board is within the list (which it is), download Foxconn's drivers (check the date of these files to your CD files.
The web site list newer drivers.

Go to Settings, Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, check "Place volume icon in the taskbar." In your Device Manager, pls verify that the drivers for your sound card are completely and correctly installed with no yellow or red markings. Likewise, verify that in your CMOS/BIOS settings, the onboard audio has been enabled. The sound driver/installer for an Intel CA810E has the filename 4035full.exe and uses a DOS component.

Should this not work, you might not have an Intel motherboard but one that just uses the Intel 810E chipset. Please post back with a more specific motherboard brand and model.

While it is true that the 810E chipset is by Intel, it does not necessarily mean that the motherboard entirely is by Intel. It could be by Asus, MSI, PCChips, ECS, Soltek or others. The sound therefore need not be the same for all versions of motherboards using the said chipset.

You can get drivers for your chipset here http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-009241.htm This may help solve your problem. A lot of times outdated drivers cause problems like the one you described.
